I Hate Stupid People

There are a lot of stupid, stupid people out there. After Kelly and I got engaged at Maymont Park in Richmond, we decided to celebrate by going to look at the bears. It was a great day. Well IQs must have dropped drastically over this last weekend. Apparently ignoring the posted signs, a 4 year old child was helped over the fence by his parent to go look at the bears and was consequently bitten after sticking his hand through the second chain link fence. He was taken to the hospital and the health department was contacted. Because there was a slight chance that the bear might have been infected with rabies, and because the parent couldn’t remember which bear did it, and because they didn’t want to just give the stupid child a rabies shot(!!!!) the authorities KILLED BOTH THE BEARS.

I don’t give a great GODAMN if the rabies shots hurt. Let the idiot parent that hoisted the kid over the fence deal with a crying child for a while. Those bears meant a lot to the people of this community and my family in particular. There is no reason they needed to be put down. I’m especially frustrated with the city officials that decided it was better to kill both the bears than give the kid a lousy shot in the arm. Everyone should contact the Times Dispatch or any of the other 3 news sites I linked to above, and let them know how pissed off you are about this!
